Heart of the Shadow King by Sylvia MercedesMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I was provided an ARC of this book via Netgalley for the rerelease of this book by Ace/Berkley in February 2025, however I do want to mention that I had previously purchased audiobook versions of the series. As always all opinions expressed in my review are my own.
We pick up where book 2 leaves off with Vor still trying to balance his duties as king and husband while Faraine desperately wants to help her new kingdom and find her place. In an attempt to help the kingdom Faraine looks deeper into her own growing powers and uncovers secrets about Vor's world that not many know. Things take a bit of a darker turn as Vor keeps his agreement to help Faraine's father and as Faraine delves deeper into her abilities. Things also heat up as Vor and Faraine accept their feelings for one another and stop pretending that their wedding was just a political alliance.
I loved this whole series and very much enjoyed going on this journey with Faraine and Vor. I really enjoyed the world building and the character development. There are some spicy scenes for the romance lovers, but as a fantasy lover myself this hit all of the right notes with action, adventure, and magical elements as well.
